I think those trucks generally run in the 6200-6500 lbs range for RAWR. Subtract your empty rear axle weight from the RAWR and that's the number. You can play with it a little bit depending on the particular truck. I wouldn't have any qualms taking my Ram up to the 7000 lb RAWR on the equivalent SRW 3500 because I think the Timbrens I installed more than make up for the 500 lb lower rating due to the different rear suspension setup. Others might have a different take and that's fine.
